Can anyone recommend a good book on recursion. I don't need basic info I would prefer something of intermediate lvl. The interest is more of practical usage but some theory would help as well.

Ty for your help If you need to sharpen your knowledge of how to apply recursion in a design, then do some programming in Common Lisp or Scheme. If you need a book on only recursion here's one: http://tinyurl.com/bkddo -- TB Back to top Victor Bazarov Guest Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:20 pm    Post subject: Re: recursive functions Dave Townsend wrote: Quote: nikulinden (AT) gmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:1130737553.977589.234160 (AT) g49g2000cwa (DOT) googlegroups.com...

There isn't much to know. ;-) Except if you're thinking of applications of recursion. Then that is unbounded theme. You can apply recursion to just about any problem. <url: http://home.no.net/dubjai/win32cpptut/special/pointers/preview/pointers_01__alpha3.doc.pdf> has a some basic examples of recursion in section 2, with the same recursion implemented various ways in C++ (single function, virtual member functions, recursive destructor). -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

I know how it works and I can write a basic recursive function but when I come across some very cleverly written recursive function I am like ' geez thats just brilliant!' or a few days ago I was wrecking my head trying to figure out how one complicated r. function worked ( it was calling also another recursive function). It is just I want to get a better understanding where it is more applicable and how it works. You know, maybe get a book that goes into more detail then a general book on C++ and have more good examples, something like that. Ty for your feedback!

Actually, it was supposed to be a self reference, but the problem was that "msgid:" is not what I have to write in the search line for searching a message id. Ironically, if you remove the "msgid:" in the search line, it works.
